Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC091 April 2023 - Mix Round 2 until until 09-MAY-2023 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

Hi, thanks for the feedback and the opportunity to work on the song in round 2. I really appreciate it!

Hi all, here's my entry: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OacRLEy-3elhvTTOT1wim92khQC0ZiYt/view?usp=share_link My approach was basically to bring the drums to life and to process the vocal parts differently to meet the requirement of imagining 3 singers without completely going nuts.

Here's my entry for round 2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k9wlNeYJfPxTuHTYp5frIzBgc8XIsBXN/view?usp=sharing I worked on the drums, raised the overall volume while taming the attack of the kick. That caused another issue with the overheads where I needed to use a de-esser to control the ride cymb...
